For Sale: 1968 Dodge Charger in Mesa, Arizona

This 1968 Dodge Charger R/T 426 Hemi Tribute blazes in Viper Red, a color that screams performance and attitude. Originally a 440-powered R/T, this Charger now flexes serious muscle with a 426 Hemi V8 under its hood. The aggressive stance is accentuated by period-correct 14-inch Chrysler mag wheels with black painted inserts, wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires (P225/70R14 front, P225/75R14 rear). A painted metallic gray bumblebee stripe wraps around the rear, paying homage to its muscle car lineage. The bumper chrome shines brilliantly, complementing the sleek, aerodynamic profile that made the '68 Charger a legend on street and track.

Inside, the ivory interior creates a striking contrast to the exterior's bold red. Vinyl bucket seats offer both comfort and period-correct style, while the factory center console houses the floor shifter for the 3-speed automatic transmission. The dashboard features factory-style gauges including a tachometer, essential for monitoring the Hemi's performance. An aftermarket steering wheel with a teak wooden perimeter adds a touch of sophistication. Modern conveniences blend seamlessly with classic style - a Premier AM/FM radio provides the tunes, while factory air conditioning keeps the cabin cool during spirited drives.

The star of this show is the 426 Hemi V8, built to produce a tire-shredding 550 horsepower on pump gas. The engine bay is a showcase of power and engineering, featuring dual Edelbrock Performer AFB-style four-barrel carburetors with electric chokes, sitting atop a Chrysler aluminum intake manifold. Long tube stainless headers feed into a dual exhaust system for that signature Hemi growl. Performance upgrades continue with a high-performance aluminum radiator and twin electric fans to keep this powerhouse cool. The 3-speed automatic transmission and 8 3/4 rear end with 3.23 gears provide the perfect balance of acceleration and highway cruising ability.
